About: My doodle was trained and raised with the help of my K9 handler friend, so I have professional experience. I have dog-sat from puppies to seniors and can accommodate needs accordingly. I love dogs more than most humans haha and I guarantee they will have a fulfilled time with me! I have a flexible and fully remote corporate job, so my schedule is very adaptable! I personally take my dog to the park every afternoon, plus walks in the evening. Happy dog happy mom! I believe dogs, especially bigger breeds, need to be active to be healthy and happy. I prioritize not only physical exercise but also mental stimulation with high reward treats. My dog is friendly so would love to bring her around if your dog is also friendly!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since a young age, and it’s truly my passion. I have hands-on experience administering medications (both pills and syrups), treating minor wounds, and providing attentive care for puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I stay informed about pet health and well-being, and I can also prepare home-cooked meals tailored to their needs. What makes me different is the genuine love and dedication I bring to every pet—I understand they are family. At home, I’ve cared for multiple dogs over the years and currently live with a sweet 3-year-old cat, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated with the same care, patience, and affection as my own. I’m currently working part time so I have off days to dedicate to take care of your lifelong companion with love patience but also responsibility I have a 3 year old cat whom gives me companion and I also take her out for walks every day, back in home she has all the things she needs

“Kady did great on her first walk with my Cane Corso! Handled him really well and kept him happy and calm. Super patient and easy to work with, can’t wait to have her walk him again!”
About: I have grown up with pets and have enjoyed learning and experiencing different personalities. With my hands-on experience your furry friend is in capable and caring hands. I specialize in small to medium-sized dogs, but my recent experience with larger breeds has expanded my horizons, though I'm quite selective and open to it only if they're exceptionally well-behaved. My approach to pet sitting is all about creating a comfortable space for your pet to ensure they feel safe and cared for even when you're not at home with them. I understand that every pet is unique and requires individualized attention, which is why I tailor my care to suit their needs and why I only accept 1 client household at a time. I try to accommodate your pet's schedule so that they don't have to experience too much change at once. This includes sticking to exercise regimens, feeding schedules, potty breaks and bedtimes. I work remotely full-time which means I have flexibility in my schedule. Additionally, I try to maintain an active lifestyle which includes running and hiking. When onboarding a new client, I make sure that I understand the pet's schedule and preferences. Additionally, I make sure to understand any boundaries the pet should adhere in the client's home including yard space or even areas in the house. I do a walkthrough with the client so I know what areas may pose a safety concern such as gates and fences. I try to understand the pet's behavior in different scenarios such as when the door bell rings or if a neighborhood dog approaches during walks. I also make sure I have emergency numbers and the location of the closest animal hospital. For client's ease of mind , I provide pictures and updates as needed on the pet.
“JP is the best! All my dogs LOVE him! They get excited just upon seeing him. I don’t even want to write this glowing review as I don’t want him to get booked up too heavily when we need him! :) thanks JP!”
About: I've grown up with all types of dogs my whole life. Dogs are my happiness, and would love to work with them on my free time. I have an open availability right now for any day of the week and weekend. I would be able to dog sit whenever there is an opportunity to. I'm a very gentle person with dogs, I go above and beyond to care for them, play with them and make sure they are always in a safe environment.
About: I grew up with pets that I had to love and care for on my own upon many other responsibilities. Even trained 6 cats on a whistle on an acre of land with a puppy as well! I just have a love for all animals. I’m reliable, honest, trustworthy and on time which a lot of people appreciate. I’m currently working part time but is very flexible throughout the week so I am able to work with anyone’s schedule. I also work out a lot throughout the week which helps with taking dogs on walks. I work with whatever the client’s request of me. Whether it’s a dog that just needs someone to hangout with and be taken outside frequently, I care for pets to whatever is needed or more.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gardena
Aileen came through for us again! We asked her to come an hour early since Kingsley was upset being closed in, and then asked her to come back later that day when plans changed, and she made it work both times. Kingsley still barks at first, but he's warming up to her faster each visit thanks to her patience (and lots of treats). We're so grateful to have someone so flexible and caring with our boys while we're away!🐶🐺🤎
Denise was AMAZING! My dog was very anxious when I left and Denise did a fantastic job of caring for my dog while also doing a little bit of extra cleaning because of a few accidents. Denise was always in communication and constantly updated me whenever she would walk my dog about her status, eating habits and how my dog was feeling. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter/walker! She's awesome :) Thanks again Denise!
Gabrielle was phenomenal. She was attentive to our highly energetic dog’s needs. She was very communicative and thorough with our dog, definitely giving us peace of mind while we were away on a trip. The updates and pictures she sent us of our dog Bruno showed how great of a time he had!
My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.
